The Princess Smells So Good (GL)

The Sharp-Tongued, Proud Princess x The Hidden Mastermind Slave

Princess Wei Zhao of the Great Zhou Dynasty had spent years living cautiously, pretending to be gentle, virtuous, and magnanimous. She endured the disdain of her Empress mother, survived the harsh palace environment, and eventually rose to the rank of Crown Princess. Now, as the trusted right hand of the new Emperor, she finally held immense power.

Everything seemed to be falling into place. A bright future stretched before her—power in one hand, beauty in the other, and a life of luxury to enjoy.

Then, it all fell apart. She made a misstep, was humiliated, and ended up stranded in the wilderness.

Her only saving grace? The ever-loyal slave who stuck by her side and pulled her through.

Overcome with gratitude, the Crown Princess gave her most hated slave a rare smile and said, “Once I return to the palace, I will reward you generously! Do you want wealth? Power? Or the one thing every slave dreams of—freedom?”

The slave blinked and replied, “I want the Princess to call me by my name.”

The Crown Princess, unfazed, responded, “That’s easy.”

The slave blinked again and added, “Like a lover would.”

Wei Zhao sneered, “Keep dreaming.”

In the end, though, Wei Zhao couldn’t resist the allure.

And she fell, hard.
